If you have a toothache, call one of our Coast Dental St. Lucie West endodontists today at (772) 343-0179. We look forward to helping you find relief through root canal therapy or another type of endodontic treatment in Port St Lucie, Florida.

Endodontics involves the diagnosis and treatment of diseases or injuries that impact the pulp chamber, which contains the nerves of your teeth. Endodontic problems can be caused by severe decay or injury causing an abscess or infection in the tissue below the tooth, or even in the jawbone. Infections can be caused by decay, cracks, chips, or trauma to the tooth. If the dental pulp becomes infected, it causes a toothache.

Signs of Endodontic Disease or Trauma

The most common symptoms of endodontic disease are:

A toothache, especially pain that does not seem to have any other cause

Sensitivity to hot or cold foods or liquids

Sensitivity to touch or pressure while biting or chewing

Tenderness or swelling of the face, gums or lymph nodes

Tooth discoloration
